Friends Forever!

Hello and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion!

Hi Everyone!
Happy Monday~I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!!! It was gorgeous pretty much all weekend here...... in the mid 70's! It was awesome :) I spent a lot of time outside getting some projects done while my hubby worked on packing and getting ready for his annual fishing trip to Canada.
I was able to get the deck stained and now working on the gazebo. Hopefully, as long as the weather continues to cooperate.... I should be done by tomorrow! Yippee!

I was even able to squeeze in a little craft time in over the weekend, yeah! I have a fun little birthday card to share with you! I picked up another cute file from

I started with a black card base, followed by a base layer panel cut at 4 4 1/2. The background chevron paper is from MME. I also added an additional black panel near the bottom and with a Martha Stewart punch added a fun border. I heat embossed the sentiment with My Creative Time's~Treasured Moments stamp set.

The adorable panda was cut at 3.98 plus the layers and popped this cutie up on a yellow panel which I embossed with the dots folder. I used the negative side and with pop dots adhered the panda in place. I needed a little more pop so I cut another panel of blue just a little bit larger then the yellow. I cut a balloons at 2 1/4 and 2 1/2 from the Birthday Bash cartridge. I embossed them with the SU chevron folder and tied on some fun Caribbean twine and tied a bow.

For the inside of my card, I used My Craft Spot's Big Words metal die set for the Happy Birthday and the fun little enamel dots in the corner are from my sweet friend Carri :) I finished with a red crinkle ribbon bow using ribbon from my sweet friend, Karen at Little Scrap Pieces and a fun chevron button I picked up at Michael's.

Oh my gosh, how stinkin' adorable is this, Sherrie!! I love, love the panda!! My sister collected pandas when we were growing up so they hold a special place in my heart!! The embossing is fabulous!! What a fun and festive card!! Love, love it!!

Are you sure you want to let your hubby go away for his trip to Canada??!! You know what happens when he leaves!! Just kidding :) Twice is enough, right ;) I hope you are doing well my friend and having a wonderful Spring with Arya!! Hopefully you are taking lots of pictures of the little sweetheart to share with us!! It's been the perfect weather here, too but wow, I can't believe how fast the year is flying by. It's going to be snowing again before we know it. Ugh. Have a wonderful, happy evening my sweet friend!! Miss you!! Big hugs :)
